david,
I wish I had seen your posts earlier. I have a mini and LOVE it. But I would have recommended the 1.42GHz model, not for the processor speed increase, but for the 40 extra GBs of HD space. Not a huge issue though - you could always get one of those nice Porsche Firewire HDs to sit next to it (problem solved). You will be very happy with your mini - I am with mine and hell I've even done some iMovie / iDVD work with mine. We have similar backgrounds PC-wise, and this is my first Mac as well. Good luck!
Cheers,
Wraven
